Seeing a gazelle or an oryx for the first time is so remarkable that it feels like one of those moments you'll always cherish. Oman’s natural parks are like pages from an adventure story, full of life and history.

As the warm desert sun dips behind the mountains, Nizwa transforms into a lively hub of activity. The ancient walls, once silent guardians of the old city, now glow softly under the evening sky, and the air fills with the inviting aroma of fresh coffee, spices, and grilled delights. Narrow alleyways beckon explorers with their charming twists and turns, revealing hidden cafes and vibrant markets that come alive after sunset.

Last weekend in Oman was a lively mix of tradition, family and adventure, all wrapped up in the celebration of Eid Al Adha. It’s one of the most important religious festivals in the country and Omani families took it as an opportunity to reconnect with their roots and loved ones.
